For major changes, there will be problems, so if the maintainer is missing, then whoever is doing the work needs to be willing to step up as the new maintainer.

Why? It rules out all but the most dedicated contributors making significant improvements.

Without this kind of dedication, any major changes will likely cause more problems than they solve.

Sure, the code needs maintaining, but why this insistence that that only one person at a time can do that?

I think there's a misunderstanding somewhere. I don't have any problem with multiple people maintaining a library. Several libraries do, in fact, have more than one maintainer. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
